Show Notes

This is part one of a very special two-parter episode (listen to part two
here) where Arwen talked to Josh Tillman
of Father John Misty for
five to fifteen hours (of which we get to hear just over an hour).

OK, let’s have a tiny bit of history. Josh Tillman is, of course, famous for
being the man behind Sub Pop recording artist Father John
Misty. Before he started
Father John Misty he was playing drums in (also Sub Pop recording artist)
Fleet Foxes. Before, and I
believe during, his tenure in Fleet Foxes, Josh was releasing records under the
name J. Tillman.

Father John Misty released LP #1, Fear
Fun, in May
2012. LP #2, the packaging-acclaimed(*) I Love You,
Honeybear
followed in February 2015. People love these records, and many television
appearances followed.

(*: The packaging of the deluxe version of I Love You, Honeybear was
nominated for some sort of packaging award, despite warping the records the
packaging was supposed to protect, violating arguably the foremost requirement
of a record package. Go figure.)

(First mention is in the show notes for episode
3 because members of
Clipping made the soundtrack for
the movie Room 237, the documentary about the movie The Shining. Second
mention is in episode 4 because
Tad. I believe this now constitutes
“full circle” unless we can get Stanley Kubrick on season 3. If so, I’ll show
you this shirt again, but if we can get Stanley Kubrick that means we can do
crazy magic, so I might not have to write these show notes anymore! Even
though I like writing these show notes!)
